THE PRESCOTT EXPLOSION.

The Coroner's Jury, summoned to in
vestigate the cause OF the late boiler ex-
plosion, by which six men lost their
lives, held another session on Saturday
evening, at which Louis Becke was in at
tendance and testified, but without
throwing any light on the matter. The
remainder OF the experts also testified, all
except one testifying that they believed
the explosion was caused by other agen-
cies than steam, although none OF them
could tell what it was. After hearing all
the testimony the jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
owe, the jury, empanneled and duly
sworn to enquire into the cause OF the
death OF Charles Collins, John Akers,
c. b, Taylor, W. Z. Wilson, Thomas
Cowley and Andrew steinbrook, do find
the following facts, viz:
THAT the above named parties came
TO their death by an explosion OF boiler
attached to steam engine at the saw
mill belonging to w. u. Wilson & Co., at
Lynx Creek, in the county Of Yavapai,
Territory Of Arizona, about the hour OF
seven o'clock and thirty minutes a. N. OF
November the 10Th, 1887.
"And we further find that some foreign
substance, explosive in its nature, was
used TO cause said explosion, but what it
was is to the jury unknown"
The Phoenix Gazette Of November 23d
says: "The dispatches last evening from
Prescott charge that giant powder was
placed inside the boiler. which caused the
explosion Giant powder has been known
TO explode by heat, but not where the
heat affected all parts OF the powder; and
had stick OF giant powder been in the
boiling water, it would have been per
fectly harmless, so far as originating the
explosion The boiler was upward Of six
years old. and it is more than probable
that the pressure was too great for the
condition Of the boiler"

sTRAWS SHOW THE WAY THAT THE
WIND BLOWS.

Combinations, fusions, alliances, plots
and counter plots. that have been under
incubation for the past week, we are eX-
pected TO hatch out in few days. The
brood will be hybrids. The policy OF
he candidates is what voters should
look at, and up to date, they have I'M
folded no policy unless an "aching
void" that the office of mayor alone can
fill, be policy.
Cold-hearted men, who never felt a
generous emotion, nor performed
friendly act, make unpopular candidates.
The people in their aversion TO caDdi-
dates of this pattern, are perfectly cor
rect. Seltishness should be rebuked on
every occasion by the people.
There are plenty of patriots deeply
anxious TO snatch San Antonio from the
jaws of destruction; but it is most
singular fact that these patriots propose
no plan for the salvation of the city, ex.
cept to elect them to office. The vir-
tues of this panacea are doubtful.
The municipal election seems to be
fast drifting into first. class muddle,
with side shows of the puddle sort. The
truth, that "too many cooks spoil the
broth" is about TO be realized. The
working men are In state of chronic dis
union. Still, they have ventured to
nominate ticket, right in the lace of
the fact that they can not unite the
working men in its support, and that
their ticket will be mere side show.
The republicans are not harmonious,
some being holly opposed to fusion
ticket, while others favor it. Three
candidates for mayor can have no other
effect than to re-elect the present mayor:
but the different aspirants and their fol-
lowers appear to be blind to this fact.
Then, there is dribble OF smothered
talk about a clandestine meeting having
been held by some of the business men,
with the view Of bringing out a gilt
edged ticket with brand new man at
the head Of it, and of opening a barrel OF
money to secure Its election. Indeed,
the air is full Of rumors, and the pros.
pect Is that the people will become dis
gusted and take no interest in the cleo
ton. Tom will run to beat Dick, and
Harry will run to defeat somebody else,
and the voters will become disgusted
and absent themselves from the polls
Lukewarmness is not the forerunner OF
success. SCAT.
